Warmed up...
Spring has departed. It's the month of June - the beginning of summer. The month of flowers, chicks and bright nights, the crown of spring.
The Old Russian name for the month of June is “cherven” - the red month. It was named so because from ancient times at this time they collected an insect - a mealybug - from the roots of the rake to obtain red paint. Month of June in Ancient Rus' also called isok - that’s what the grasshopper was called then. From the warm grasses the chatter of grasshoppers can be heard with might and main.
The Romans called the fourth month of the year “Junius” - named after Jupiter’s wife, Juno, the patroness of women.
The average monthly temperature in Russia in June is 16-18 degrees, the highest temperature in some years, usually in the third decade, reaches 36-38 degrees Celsius (1957 and 1975). Sometimes the invasion of cold air from the Arctic in the first ten days of June is accompanied by a drop in temperature at night to 2-4 degrees below zero, which was observed in 1950, 1954, 1958, 1967, 1969, 1971.
Monthly precipitation in the month of June is 45-55 mm.
In the folk calendar, June 2 is borage day, when cucumbers are planted. June 11 - bread is eared, after June 12 beans are planted.
June 22 - the end of spring, the beginning of summer. Gives all its strength to the sun. It's time to stock up on hay! The first scythe does not fail - the hay is the best.
Summer is heating up. The forest is lush green. The view of lindens, birches, maples, and mighty oaks is majestic. A full leaf on giant oak trees appears only in the month of June. In the forest, forest bells - lilies of the valley - are blooming, strawberries are blooming, and strawberries are blooming along the ravines. Dandelions, daisies, bluebells, yarrow, oak grass or popularly Ivan-da-Marya, cornflowers, carnations, ranunculus, celandine are blooming, St. John's wort is blooming. Some of the dandelions have already faded and their fluff balls can be seen here and there; The wind will blow and numerous seeds will fly through the air, like small light parachutes. Blue cornflower, chamomile, common yarrow, lily of the valley, St. John's wort, celandine - all this medicinal plants. Bluebells are subject to full protection: broad-leaved and peach-leaved, they cannot be taken.
Pine blossoms in the forests in early June. Honey-bearing viburnum is blooming, and raspberries are blooming in clearings, forest edges and along roads.
In the gardens, golden currant, serviceberry, bird cherry, Siberian hawthorn, steppe cherry, common lilac, yellow acacia, spirea elmaceae, Tatarian honeysuckle, barberry, rowan have bloomed, Hungarian lilac, crimson and pink flowers the rosehip was decorated, and later the jasmine would throw out white, delicate petals.
The white boil of apple, pear and cherry trees is gradually subsiding.
In the fields and wastelands, quails incessantly shout “it’s time to sleep,” and in the meadow lowlands the corncrakes creak all night long. Knightly fights among sandpipers continue, and snipe lambs are also mating. Wood grouse, koschi, and drakes huddle in the support to molt.
The rye is already in ear and blooming. They dusted the poplars with fluff, generously scattering their light, fluffy seeds far around. They could be seen as snow rollers on the paths and uneven ground.
The first spike mushrooms appeared in the birch groves. These are young boletus mushrooms. Boletus has appeared in low pine plantings. Along with the boletus mushrooms, the first russulas are also found. There are about 60 species of russula in our forests and all of them are edible. Green, pink, purple, dark red, blue-violet, deep blue, purple-red, all the colors and shades of the caps of these mushrooms and you can’t list how many there are and how elegant they are. Mushroom pickers always enjoy collecting multi-flowered russula, they taste wonderful, they can be salted and fried. Only excessive fragility reduces their value. Mushroom pickers consider green russula to be the best: they are thicker, as they say, meatier, and break less than others. In old forests you can also find the first porcini mushrooms. In the pastures and along the edges of the meadow you can collect meadow mushrooms (meadow mushrooms), they are boiled and fried. They often form circles - “witch rings”. These are all mushrooms of the first layer, there are still few of them and this mushroom “layer” soon disappears. Inveterate lovers of “silent hunting” say: “The real mushroom has not yet come, real mushroom will start in August."
How colorful are the meadow herbs this month! At the beginning of the month of June, the meadow turns blue from the abundance of forget-me-not flowers, then the meadow turns purple - meadow sage has bloomed, and now it is already white - daisies are blooming. Meadows become especially fragrant when red wild clover, lilac-blue bells, red meadow cornflowers and other honey plants bloom.
Flowers are children of the sun, mushrooms are children of shadow.
A number of birds - rooks, thrushes, starlings, buntings and finches - already have large chicks and parents have to “work” a lot to feed their voracious offspring. Some birds are still busy hatching their chicks, others have just hatched. During the period of feeding the chicks, only one pair of small insectivorous birds destroys several tens of thousands of harmful insects. A tit, for example, eats as many insects per day as it weighs. Often their “working day” lasts from dawn until dark. So, in the summer, a starling works seventeen hours a day, a city swallow - eighteen, a swift - nineteen, and a redstart - more than twenty! For example, swifts should bring food at least thirty-five times a day, starlings - about two hundred, spotted woodpeckers - up to three hundred, swallows - three hundred, nuthatch - about three hundred and eighty, redstarts - over four hundred and fifty, and gray flycatchers - almost five hundred times a day. day. And birds don’t bring one fly or mosquito at a time. A swift immediately brings more than two hundred insects in its beak - after all, the chick's daily diet far exceeds the weight of the chick itself. Thanks to such gluttony, the chick increases its weight by 5-6 times in a week.
The color and color of eggs can tell a lot. It is known that hollow-nesting birds have light-colored eggs. Clutches of waders, gulls, nightjars and all those who lay eggs directly on the ground would not survive if they were not the same color as the ground on which they lie. Forest pipits make nests from the stems of dry cereals, hair, and less often moss, usually in a depression in the soil, under the cover of dried grass and branches.
These birds have an amazing variety of egg colors, but they are all speckled, ranging from brownish-gray to pinkish-brown.
June is the month of formation of young birds. The forest at this time needs absolute silence so as not to interfere with the feathered parents raising their pets on the wing.
The evening air is silently permeated with bats, which have fluttered out of their dark shelter in search of insects. Scientists have found that these animals make sounds in flight with a frequency of about 50 thousand vibrations per second, and each one lasts less than five thousandths of a second. This is the so-called ultrasound. Ear bat detects this when the sound it emits is reflected from an obstacle. With the help of echo location, they not only perfectly navigate in space, but also hunt for nocturnal insects and feed. Using a sound-converting device, Moscow zoologists recorded ultrasonic signals bats and turned them into low-frequency ones audible to humans. It turned out that the calls of some bats, for example, rufous noctules, resemble the abrupt barking of dogs, and the calls of pipistrelle bats resemble a kind of rumbling.
Animals also have a lot of parental concerns. It is also time for them to raise their young - moose, wolves, foxes, badgers and other animals, and hares have their second litter. Bear weddings have begun: the roar of bears can be heard, and sometimes fierce fights break out between males.
Listen to the cheerful singing - the friendly croaking of green frogs - lake and pond. First one begins to sing, then the other, and now a combined choir sounds among the sedges and coastal vegetation. The soloists look very funny. They are serious and full of dignity. The mother-of-pearl throat swells importantly and solemnly. The voices of frogs and toads are strictly species-specific and diverse. This is primarily due to main function voices - invite to a date.
He loves to bask in the sun or swim in the water with his head out. Many people think snakes poisonous snakes, but that's not true. And you can distinguish them from a viper quite simply: by the yellow spots located on the sides of the head. Snakes feed on mice, shrews, frogs, and insects.
In damp places a viviparous lizard is found. She, like all reptiles with an unstable body temperature, loves to bask in the sun. The sand lizard is more brightly colored. The male of this species is bright green with small dark spots and stripes. Lives mainly in pine forests, feeds on butterflies, caterpillars and other small insects. In June, the lizard lays up to 13 eggs in the sand, warmed by the sun.
In the evenings, you can see a slowly moving toad on the grass or near the road. During the day she hides in the shade from the sun, and at dusk she hunts for insects, bringing great benefit. In warm weather summer evenings Intensified insect years occur.
The month of June has the longest days of the year. People say at such a time - “Dawn meets dawn” or “Dawn gives hand to dawn.” As soon as the evening dawn burns out, a new one is already dawning in the east. June 22 is the summer solstice. At noon the sun is at its highest position. According to the astronomical calendar, the summer solstice is considered the beginning of summer. At the end of the month, the days will gradually begin to wane. “Sun for winter, and summer for heat,” people say.
With warming, all aquatic plants, especially elodea, grow rapidly in reservoirs; standing waters are completely covered with a light green carpet of duckweed.
Tench spawn, and carp spawn in the ponds. Minnow spawning continues.
Hunting is prohibited; amateur fishermen fish with summer fishing rods.

There is one holiday in June, a red date on the calendar, 12 June- Russia Day. It has been celebrated annually since 1992 and is not a working day. Hooray.
June 13 construction began on the great Siberian route - the Trans-Siberian railway. This is one of the largest railway lines on the entire planet - 9300 kilometers! This highway connects Far East With European part Russia.
22nd of June the saddest date in the history of our country. On this day, or rather morning, on Soviet Union Nazi troops attacked. On June 22, 1941, the bloodiest war began, which lasted 1,418 days. And all these long days and nights, the entire people gave all their strength to defend the very existence of our state. The victory came at a high price. More than 20 million dead, more than a hundred cities destroyed but unconquered. Thousands of villages lying in ruins. Every year, on June 22, we remember those terrible years of war, deprivation and devastation.
A June 24, 1945 The first Victory Parade took place in Moscow. And this is also a memorable and significant date in our history. Despite everything, we were able to win an unconditional victory. And in order to consolidate the Victory, it was decided to hold a Victory Parade on Red Square. On that day, June 24, 1945, the winners of fascism were honored in Moscow. At first Stalin himself wanted to host the parade, but last days refused this because he had poor preparation. And he instructed Marshal Zhukov to host the Victory Parade. And the parade was commanded by Marshal Rokossovsky. Approximately 40,000 people took part in that parade. An interesting fact is that those walking in columns clung to each other with their little fingers in order not to lose step and keep the line. A special platform was built on Red Square, onto which they threw 200 captured German banners. After the parade, they were burned, as well as the gloves in which the standard bearers threw German trophies.
These are the holidays in June.
And here are some wonderful poets who wrote poems about summer:
Alexander Pushkin
Oh, summer is red! I would love you
If only it weren't for the heat, the dust, the mosquitoes, and the flies.
You, ruining all your spiritual abilities,
You torture us; like the fields we suffer from drought;
Just to get something to drink and refresh yourself -
We have no other thought, and it’s a pity for the old woman,
And, having seen her off with pancakes and wine,
We are celebrating her funeral with ice cream and ice.
Nikolay Nekrasov
(From the poem “Peasant Children”)
Wow, it’s hot!.. We were picking mushrooms until noon.
They came out of the forest - just towards
A blue ribbon, winding, long,
Meadow river: they jumped off in a crowd,
And brown heads above the desert river,
What porcini mushrooms in a forest clearing!
The river resounded with both laughter and howling:
Here a fight is not a fight, a game is not a game...
And the sun beats down on them with the midday heat.
Home, kids! it's time for lunch.
We're back. Everyone has a basket full,
And how many stories! Got caught with a scythe
We caught a hedgehog and got a little lost
And they saw a wolf... oh, what a scary one!
Samuel Marshak
June has arrived.
"June! June!" -
Birds are chirping in the garden.
Just blow on a dandelion -
And it will all fly apart.
Boris Zakhoder
It's all winter...
Where is summer?
Animals, birds!
Waiting for an answer!
Summer, -
The swallow thinks -
Arriving very soon.
Summer needs to hurry,
And it flies like a bird!
Is it arriving? -
The Mole snorted. -
It's crawling underground!
You say
Summer is coming soon?
I don't hope so!
Toptygin grumbled:
- Summer
Sleeping in his den
Somewhere...
The horse neighed:
-Where is the carriage?
I'm now
I'll deliver summer!
Summer, -
The hares told me, -
He gets on the train at the station,
Because maybe it's summer
Ride like a hare -
Without a ticket!
Fedor Tyutchev
Already a hot ball of the sun
The earth rolled off its head,
And peaceful evening fire
The sea wave swallowed me up.
The bright stars have already risen
And gravitating over us
The vault of heaven has been lifted
With your wet heads.
The river of air is fuller
Flows between heaven and earth,
The chest breathes easier and more freely,
Freed from the heat.
And a sweet thrill, like a stream,
Nature ran through my veins,
How hot are her legs?
The spring waters have touched.

By June, the diligent peasant had completed the main spring field work: sowing and planting, plowing early couple. At the end of May and beginning of June, before the mass flowering of meadow grasses, there was a short period of rest - the inter-fallow period. And in the south, haymaking was already underway.

However, the peasant table was still meager: if there were no days of fasting, the family ate mainly dairy products, eggs and the first greens from the garden. And the bread was already running out. Therefore, pies, noodles and porridge were considered rare. The peasants said sadly: “June - blow into the bins, look: is there any life somewhere; forgotten in the corners”; “Collect the specks from the floor and make a funeral service.”
June is the month of young, green grass and first harvests: at the end of May - beginning of June, the first vegetables and herbs of the new season appear in the markets, and housewives prepare soup from young nettles.
June needs and worries forced the peasant to take a closer look at weather changes, and since ancient times, rural residents have noticed the connection between winter weather and summer. This was indicated by the experience of many years of observations. Winter weather changes had a particularly noticeable effect on June days. The weather coincided after 177 days - after six lunar months. If frost fell in winter, then after a lunar half a year dew would fall. If there was heavy and wet snow in December, it manifested itself in thunderstorms and rain in June. Winter snow pellets arrived in June cold weather. The December blizzard turned into bad weather in June. Warm December foreshadowed the heat of June. These signs usually came true completely, and the peasant determined his economic concerns in advance and calculated his leisure time.
